Im sure you write very readable code, but in most companies, there are a bunch of devs who completely rape the codebase with unintelligble bullshit. The linter is the first line of defense against these bozos, unfortunately it must be enforced company wide.

The point is that in the large picture there are many much more important topics with higher impact to focus on. The company wont make much more money by having consistently formatted code, compared to putting that energy towards new features.

Do you guys never read code as side by side diffs in the browser?

There’s no trick to it, you’re overanalyzing. It’s just saing if I were a stone -> no experience, a bat -> some kind of experience. It is not claiming to define the ”something” as you seem to think.

I would say a lot would need to be added. Given the same input, the tetris game will respond exactly the same each time. There is no awareness, learning, no decisions made, but purely a 100% predictible process.

The Oxford Living Dictionary defines consciousness as "[t]he state of being aware of and responsive to one's surroundings", "[a] person's awareness or perception of something", and "[t]he fact of awareness by the mind of itself and the world".

I’ve worked with cucumber for a few yeats and only ever seen developers writing Gherkin.

To me it’s just another framework to learn - a failed abstraction. It’s always introduced by idealistic devs who regularly jerks off to conference talks.

I have a tiling window manager, I never use the tiling feature, I only have one window per workspace like the previous commenter. Alt+1 is always my browser, alt+2 is my code, alt+3 is slack, etc. Switching to the desired app doesn’t require thinking, and certainly no AI

Can you have different environments or profiles or whatever, with different global variables?

As someone who rows an actual boat once or twice almost every other summer I just want to say that rowing is mostly upper body and arms, with little to no legwork.

This is a gem of a video. Even though this is a parody, it's interesting to note the difference in how C# and Java are perceived today. Microsoft has certainly tried (and succeeded IMO) to change the perception of C# as a Microsoft ecosystem lock-in language since they embraced Linux and open source with .NET core
